About SHELL Commands
You begin in SHELL mode when you star t a CLI session. SHELL mode lets you per form the following
tasks with your Motorola Netopia
®
Gateway:
❑ Monitor its performance
❑ Display and reset Gateway statistics
❑ Issue administrative commands to restart Motorola Netopia® Gateway functions
SHELL Prompt
When you are in SHELL mode, the CLI prompt is the name of the Motorola Netopia® Gateway followed
by a right angle bracket (>). For example, if you open a CLI connection to the Motorola Netopia® Gate-
way named “Netopia-3000/9437188,” you would see
Netopia-3000/9437188> as your CLI prompt.
SHELL Command Shortcuts
You can truncate most commands in the CLI to their shortest unique string. For example, you can use
the truncated command q in place of the full quit command to exit the CLI. However, you would need
to enter rese for the reset command, since the first characters of reset are common to the restart
command.
The only commands you cannot truncate are restart and clear . To prevent accidental interruption of
communications, you must enter the restart and clear commands in their entirety.
You can use the Up and Down arrow keys to scroll backward and for ward through recent commands you
have entered. Alternatively, you can use the
!! command to repeat the last command you entered.
